Eyes like jade, hair like the sunlight,
mouth like a heart, full of secrets untold.
Blessed siren of the smoky realms,
you spin me round until I cannot breathe.
You took me in and you drove me out,
yeah, you had me hypnotized,
lost and found and turned around
by the fire in your eyes.
Everytime you pass, I am helplessly captivated,
knowing that once, you were mine.
Though we still remain the best of friends,
I cannot help but to fall in love with you,
if only for the last time.
You took me in and you drove me out,
yeah, you had me hypnotized,
lost and found and turned around
by the fire in your eyes.
Sweet girl-love of mine,
my mind is so full of unspoken things.
All the words I held back,
all the things I restrained,
all of the secrets I chose to keep.
I silenced myself for you,
for your happiness.
You took me in and you drove me out,
yeah, you had me hypnotized,
lost and found and turned around
by the fire in your eyes.
So now we part ways,
as lovers, not friends.
Though I see you everyday,
though I talk to you everyday,
still I remember those nights
when it was only you and I.
What I'm saying here, my beautiful Delilah,
is that I will never break my pact of friendship,
that I will never leave your side,
that I will always be there for you...
that forever, for all eternity
I love you.
